Johan Derksen thinks that Hans van Breukelen is the reason that Mark van Bommel has been fired from PSV. The ex-editor-in-chief of Voetbal International knows that Toon Gerbrands did not want to get rid of Van Bommel. Van Bommel was fired in December after a dramatic series.
“I have a strong impression that Van Breukelen is behind the dismissal of Van Bommel,” says Derksen at Veronica Inside. He also suspects that Van Breukelen is behind the arrival of Roger Schmidt, the new trainer of PSV.
“Toon Gerbrands has been blamed for the dismissal of Van Bommel, but he fell for it three times when it was heard from higher up that it was time for him to be fired. Van Bommel also knows that Gerbrands defends him very much internally but the supervisory board said it was unsustainable and he had to get out. “
Derksen thinks that Van Breukelen is the man who wanted Van Bommel away. Van Breukelen is a member of the supervisory board. “Van Breukelen is the only one with football know-how. He wanted to get rid of Van Bommel. It is also no coincidence that Schmidt is the new man. When Van Breukelen worked at the KNVB on a blue Monday, he wanted to get Schmidt as a national coach. It shows, you don’t hear it and it doesn’t even wave, but it still plays a part. So if Schmidt fails, Hans is immediately responsible. “
Derksen also claims that Van Bommel leaked to the media. “PSV thought Van Bommel was a good trainer, but they thought it was worst that he had lines to the media. Everything that played within PSV came from journalists befriended by journalists. They found that very annoying about Van Bommel. regular customers so I always knew everything. As a thank you you kept those guys a bit out of the wind. They also did it for their own safety. “
